Property Development Group Starship is launching its first zero carbon affordable homes on the Wirral which will be built at its off-site manufacturing facility in Deeside.
These first three zero carbon homes will provide over 105 M2 of modern, affordable living space which will be installed in as little as seven days ready for internal fit out.
Starship’s unique panellised model means that a new home can be delivered and installed anywhere where a refuse collection vehicle can fit, with no special arrangements or unnecessary disruption to the community.
Their focus on driving local enterprise means that local contractors are used to provide internal fit out and finishing works meaning that maximum economic impact is delivered locally.
This development is being completed in New Ferry on the Wirral at a site that was rocked by the 2017 explosion of a commercial premises which devastated the immediate community and is one of the first regeneration projects in the area.
Starship have agreed a deal with a registered provider to acquire these homes and are working with other providers and private investors to deliver more of these innovate affordable homes.
